How to create EditText with rounded corners?

Question

Is there any way to create EditText that has rounded corners?

Answer 1

By my way of thinking, it already has rounded corners.

In case you want them more rounded, you will need to:

1. Clone all of the nine-patch PNG images that make up an EditText background (found in your SDK)
2. Modify each to have more rounded corners
3. Clone the XML StateListDrawable resource that combines those EditText backgrounds into a single Drawable, and modify it to point to your more-rounded nine-patch PNG files
4. Use that new StateListDrawable as the background for your EditText widget

Answer 2

There is an easier way than the one written by CommonsWare. Just create a drawable resource that specifies the way the EditText will be drawn:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--  res/drawable/rounded_edittext.xml -->
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
 <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
    <corners
     android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
     android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
  android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
  android:topRightRadius="15dp"/>
</shape>

Then, just reference this drawable in your layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
<EditText  
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:padding="5dip"
    android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext" />
</LinearLayout>

You will get something like:

Based on Mark's comment, I want to add the way you can create different states for your EditText:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_states.xml -->
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
    <item 
     android:state_pressed="true" 
     android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />
    <item 
     android:state_focused="true" 
     android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />
    <item 
     android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_edittext" />
</selector>

These are the states:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_focused.xml -->
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
 <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
 <stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#FF0000" />
    <corners
     android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
     android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
  android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
  android:topRightRadius="15dp"/>
</shape>

And... now, the EditText should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<EditText  
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="@string/hello"
    android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext_states"
    android:padding="5dip"/>
</LinearLayout>
